 DVD Savant Review: The Busby Berkeley Collection
Busby Berkeley's phantasmagorical musical extravaganzas were a highlight of 1930s culture, a bridge between the insufferably literal stage transpositions of the talkie transition and the later star-centered musical formulas at RKO and MGM.

Warren wrote the song "September in the Rain" for this film and Berkely was to choreograph with a forest of movable silver trees, but the studio nixed it and also cut "Broadway Cinderella" from the final print.

Berkely went on to stage many famous fantastical dance sequences for countless movie musicals.

 42nd Street   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Much of this was due to the appealingly bizarre and visually fascinating choreography of Busby Berkely, but it was also due to Lloyd Bacon's taut, upbeat direction.
He was at this time twenty-eight but gave the impression of being younger, and his voice was still a tenor, sometimes a little strident, rather than the smooth, light baritone it would soon become.
Audiences seeing the picture early in 1933 could hardly fail to be aware that this was a breakthrough in the presentation of song and dance on the screen.

It wants to be a sex comedy the likes of "Animal House", but it tries, equally, at the same moment, to be the after-school special that ended up not on ABC but Nick-At-Night.
It wants to be a romantic tale (boy-and-girl; girl-and-girl; bitch-and-bitch), but it also wants to be a T-and-A X-rated musical that would most certainly make Busby Berkely howl and cringe and hide his eyes from the horrors before him.
Until the perverters of Good Taste came along, at which point everything interesting was removed, leaving this wretched, supposed PG-13, pile of poo.
